According to my bible, Trans Europe Express had a turbulent chart success.

Initially it charted at US #119 in May, 1977 then 13 months later, it peaked at US #67. Strangely, it's UK peak did not occur until 1982 when it hit #49. This might be explained by the eventual single success of Computer Love/The Model which by then had became a dancefloor and airplay favourite eventually hitting UK #1.

Some of Kraftwerk's other albums faired considerably better: Autobahn (UK #11 and US #25), The Man Machine (UK #9 and US #130) and Computer World (UK #15 and US #72).

Mike EJ Oldfield had Tubular Bells which hit US #3 and UK #1. It's UK position was achieved post Hergest Ridge which it disposed from the UK #1 position three weeks after Hergest's release in 1974. It certainly outsold Low or probably any album Bowie has ever released.
